Would You Like some Winnimere with that Cabernet?

Police in Bluffton, S.C., pulled over a woman for allegedly speeding through a stop sign at 60 mph. According to police, a Breathalyzer showed her blood alcohol content at 0.18 percent. Lauren Cutshaw, 32, explained to the arresting officer why she shouldn’t go to jail: she was a cheerleader, a dancer, a sorority girl, and graduated from a “high accredited university.” According to police, at the station she told the officer she’d only had two glasses of wine at an upscale restaurant. When asked how full the glasses were, she allegedly replied, “I mean I was celebrating my birthday.” She also said she “may have” smoked pot earlier in the day, and described herself as a “clean, thoroughbred, white girl.” When the officer asked what that had to do with anything, she replied, “You’re a cop, you should know based on the people that come in this room.” Cutshaw, a real estate agent, was jailed, charged with drunk driving, speeding, and marijuana possession.
